IGIST: New Stars

YA Science Fiction Series, Book 1

By: L.S. Larson

Narrated by: Levi Aeryn

IGIST follows the challenges and triumphs of Emi, a 14 year-old Earthling girl that dreams of getting into the renowned Intergalactic Institute of Science and Technology, or IGIST. The odds are stacked against her however. As humanity has spread across the galaxy they have grown to look down on the Bygones left on the brain-drained backwater of planet Earth and have no interest in stopping the Plague that ravages the people left there.

As Emi strives to become the first Earthling in 20 years to gain admittance to IGIST she meets an incredible cast of out-of-this-world characters: business tycoons from the asteroid belt, yak-men of the Warden Corps, snobby Martians, holographic deep-space Scouts, and of course her droid sidekick Sadee. Immerse yourself in the universe of IGIST, and find out if Emi has what it takes to save her home.

IGIST: New Stars is the first book in the YA Science Fiction series that is growing into an international phenomenon. Beloved by readers/listeners and critics alike, this story not only thrills its audience with an incredible adventure, but inspires them to help build the future they want to see.

Critic reviews

"Truly a one-of-a-kind experience for science fiction fans and lovers of technology!" (Literature Approved)

It's definitely for Kids

I picked this up for my 11 year old daughter, and she really liked it. As it was written for her age group, that's all that really matters imo. I listened to the story along with her, as we were on a long trip with a lot of driving. Are there parts of the story / plot that an older reader might have issues with... yes. However, I don't feel the need to address any of those. I don't think children in my daughters age group are going to notice or care about those issues. Again, It's for kids, my daughter enjoyed it, and that's all that really mattered...to me.

I did want to mention that I thought the narrator did an amazing job! He used many different voices for the characters, and made it very easy for me to listen along with my daughter. It looks like this is the only book he's narrated on Audible so far. I'm hoping he does more.

It’s a good book don’t hate on it

I have met the author and read this so if you are out there, Hi. (I have a signed copy)This is a pretty good book I don’t know why someone gave a it a bad review but the story is pretty good and the length is also great it is angled towards kids but it’s fine for all ages Overall it’s a great Read! Also the author told me there will probably be a sequel so...

Written by committee

I was excited by the book. Interesting protagonist with exciting goals. Great start. Then the author injected its leftist propaganda for no reason at all. The book was written like a committee of cultural marxists made a checklist of every moronic idea they’ve ever vomited into the world and then forced a 1980s robot to read it aloud.
